Precautions In Case I Die

James, get real, you have completely put words in my mouth here. I have not said or do not think any of these things so please stop making me look like a *****. I have been worried sick for the girl because she couldn't get hold of you for nine hours. Do you realise how strange it is not to check your phone for so long?

Veronica didn't tell me of this agreement between you two that she would call between 7-8pm, it makes things slightly more understandable.

I think you have completely overreacted here because you are excited, apprehensive, nervous etc. I know the feeling too well but please the hell keep in touch with her often enough so she doesn't have to think what if I can't contact him tomorrow?

I thought she was on her flight, so I didn't think she even could contact me.

And I'm not overreacting. When you say that you don't 'buy' my excuse, that sounds like you are calling me a liar. More importantly, it puts ideas in Veronica's head.

And not checking my phone for so long is not unusual for me. I'm not an avid texter. I check my phone when it goes off or when I come back to it if I have left it in another room. I don't check it when I have it on me, since I assume that I will hear it. It may be strange to you, but not everyone uses their phone with such frequency.

If you don't 'buy' my excuse, what other reason could I have for not answering her calls, other than to upset her? And I will keep in touch with her if I think it is possible. If I think she is on her flight, why would I check to see if she had texted me?

Your girlfriend panicked because after 9 hours of not picking up her calls she started thinking you might not even turn up tomorrow. Right, these are such crazy circumstances that anything will start going through her head.

Her flight landed at 5:30pm which I didn't know but I assume you did so surely you could have checked your phone then?

I appreciate that you might not be stuck to your phone like a lot of people in this world seem to be but on a day like this that habit must absolutely be broken.

I'm really sick of arguing and arguing and arguing on this website. I never called you a liar or deliberately trying to upset her so this will be my last say on the matter.

I didn't know that. As far as I knew, she got in around 7pm my time and that's why she was going to call me at that time. If I had known that she would be arriving earlier, I would have been more alert to her calls. I can only go on the information that is given to me.

No, it doesn't need to be broken, since this is the first time I have ever accidentally switched my phone to silent. I don't need a lecture. Stop trying to put me in the wrong here. This all resulted from my phone unfortunately being switched to silent and being told that I wouldn't hear from her until at least 7pm. I completely understand why Veronica was worried, but it was nobody's fault.

Then what did you mean? If I give an explanation and you say that you don't buy it, it then follows that you must be accusing me of lying. By all means clarify what you meant.
